Celtics sign 7-foot-7 Tacko Fall to Exhibit 10 contract

The Boston Celtics have signed UCF center Tacko Fall to an Exhibit 10 contract after he went undrafted on Thursday, sources told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

The 7-foot-7 big man was an unlikely candidate to make the league before an impressive showing at the NBA combine. He broke several combine measurement records, including his 10-foot-2 standing reach and insane 8-foot-2 wingspan.

Fall averaged 11.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks in 24.9 minutes during his senior season with the Knights. He helped UCF get its first-ever NCAA Tournament win before falling to Duke in the Round of 32.

What the analysts are saying

• "Over the course of the past few months, Fall has proven he’s more than just a curiosity - he’s enormous, and his primary value as a vertical rim-protector is immediately evident. He dwarfs mostly everyone on the floor, has gotten into pretty good shape and moves well for his size, and might have a chance at carving out a role as someone’s third center. He can’t shoot jumpers and will be limited offensively, but it’s hard to deny the way his length warps the dimensions of the floor." - Sports Illustrated's Jeremy Woo
